The GUTHz department operates the international infrared user facility FELIX/FELICE and utilizes it to study gas-phase complex (bio)molecules, ions and clusters via 'Action Spectroscopy'. Starting March 2012 the FELIX facility will move to the Radboud University Nijmegen to merge with the free-electron laser FLARE currently being commissioned.
